Happy 4th of July PetroNerds listeners!

Episode 135 of the PetroNerds podcast is your 4th of July special and hot off the press.

Trisha Curtis, host of the PetroNerds podcast and CEO of PetroNerds, walks listeners through oil prices, supply and demand, geopolitics, the US’ Big Beautiful Bill, and much more in 37 minutes. She gets into $65 oil prices and what is happening with both supply and demand on the back of hot wars, Iran, and so much geopolitical risk and reality.

She talks about “peak shale” and a forthcoming paper she has coming out with the Peterson G. Foundation. Trisha also talks about the Big Beautiful Bill and the wind and solar subsidies that are crippling the US taxpayer, the US consumer, and US businesses and manufacturing. She discusses US exceptionalism and what is really happening in the US economy vs. the stock market.

While Trisha is concerned about the economy and inflation and what is happening under the hood, she explains why the US is truly exceptional due to its deep, transparent, and liquid markets, from oil to treasuries. Trisha also discusses what she calls the “hanging in there” economy or the “hanging in there” consumer. She gets into inflation, employment, and immigration and the average hourly work week.

This is another PetroNerds showstopper folks.
